I could not help but sense the intense sadness of the vet and the owners that had to make the decision to euthanize Barbaro. Wow! They worked so hard for so long!
As a professional counselor who deals with grieving people on a regular basis, there was a quote by one of Barbaro's owners that struck my heart: "Grief is the price we pay to love."
Ah, yes, it is! Love is risky - always a sacrifice at some level. What we have to decide over and over is if it is worth the risk. Healthy love is always worth stepping into more, truth?

Every teardrop is worth it! Love is absolutely worth it!
True love is worth the risk! Well said. So sad for their loss.
Love is always worth the risk. Without opening up to love, we would miss out on so much that God has to offer us.
Is that what is meant by "good" grief?:)
There's always a comedian lurking in the wings, isn't there?
I am embarrassed to say I don't know what this story is about. I will have to google it!
Beverly, thanks for your comment on my blog. We are so excited about our baby girl! And about Barbaro...that is so true. When you love, you become vulnerable and that can sometimes cause pain. But like they say, "It is better to have loved and lost, than to never have loved at all!"
